1. Students this afternoon had a guest speaker and were only able to return to class for the last portion of time. Instead of beginning our next project, which we will not be able to continue until Monday, we began watching the movie The Number 23, which students saw a glimpse of yesterday. Through their viewing today, they were able to understand the general idea of the movie, that the number 23 plagues people and can be found in nearly everything. A person’s paranoia and how far they take this odd reality can, like anything, really drive them to extremes.
2. The students had a great time calculating their own examles of 23 in their lives. It was entertaining.

Here is what Jim Carey had to say about why he chose to do the movie…
